Amid all the worries and terrors of this world, it’s important to remember that there are many beauties to love and protect. Here are just a few from my archive.
Happy Tuesday.

Winter Sleep
Shhh … sleeping grape vines.
Grape Vines
The wine grapes are heavy and lush and ready for harvest.
Grapes have been cultivated and sold for thousands of years, a trade that started in Israel, Cyprus, Egypt, Iran and Turkey. At present, about 75 percent of the grapes grown worldwide are used to make wine. We certainly like our grape juice!
Happy Saturday. 🙂
Walking Sights
A couple of views from my walk yesterday morning on Penticton’s KVR Trail.
Happy Thursday. 🙂
Friday Flowers
The garden at a favourite restaurant, open again, permanently, I hope.
And, a lovely summer wine.
Happy Friday, happy weekend, everyone. 🙂
Holiday Time
A table on a deck overlooking the lake, a great meal, a nice bottle of local wine.
A lovely relaxing time was had. 🙂

October 19’s Monday Marvellous
Right now I am covered in snow (this is waaay too early!) at my work home, but pleasant July memories of my home home are sustaining me. This was taken on my birthday.
Have a good week everyone. 🙂
Grape Views
A few days ago, we took a very pleasant trip to a great winery we know called Fairview. Here’s the view from the covid-safe patio.
We sipped, chatted with the owner, and lazed. It was very hot outside …
… but that’s really good for the grapes.
Have a good week. 🙂
Okanagan Lake
A few days ago we took a ramble high above Okanagan Lake.
On small land benches overlooking the lake, wine grapes have been planted. It’s perilous to reach some of them but the combination of sun, heat and humidity often produces rather rare varieties such as carménère.
I don’t know what grapes are growing there, but I hope they do well.
Greetings from the beautiful Okanagan Lake and its luscious wine grapes. 🙂
